Verdict

Girl Of Pleasure, a moderate performer on the level, showed improved form for the switch to hurdling when making a winning debut over timber over course and distance last month. However, she was all out to win then and may struggle under her penalty. William George, who is rated 70 on the flat, has claims on his hurdles debut, as does the Mark Pitman-trained Beasley but this should go to Martin Pipe's Red Halo. The best of these on the flat, Tony McCoy's mount was never in danger at Bangor on his hurdles debut and should be able to defy the penalty.
